GotaGoHome, set up at Galle Face, which was destroyed by pro-Rajapaksa supporters yesterday (9) has been re-established.
A group of supporters of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna yesterday lashed out at anti-government protesters.
Unrest and violence were reported from across the country following clashes that broke out outside the Temple Trees last morning. Pro-Rajapaksa protesters following a gathering at the Temple Trees began breaking down the structures that were set up during the past few days outside the Temple Trees by anti-government protesters.
They then began clashing with the peaceful protesters which led to several individuals sustaining injuries. The structures were also set alight by the pro-government protesters.
The pro-Rajapaksa group then proceeded to march towards the Galle Face Green where they destroyed the structures set up there as well.
Protesters claim that they will maintain GotaGoHome until President Gotabaya Rajapaksa steps down.
Civil activists, actors and several others held a media briefing last evening at GotaGoHome.
Actor Jagath Manuwara said the public is demanding a peaceful country, yet charged that the government instigated protests. He said the people took to the streets against such violence.
